The Oakland Athletics moved a step closer to getting a new stadium when the city's Port Commission voted to approve a tentative exclusive negotiation agreement for a ballpark.
The commission voted unanimously to a term sheet which would give the A's a new 35,000-seat stadium at Howard Terminal.
“We are grateful to the Board of Port Commissioners,” Oakland A’s President Dave Kaval said. “In November, we announced our vision to build a waterfront ballpark and provide a baseball experience for our fans like no other.
The commission also gave the team four years to conclude an environmental impact report for the 50-acre site, which would also have a housing and retail development.
